ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Police spokesman insisted that authorities do not believe that the incident was terrorism — but federal officials, including the Secret Service and the Joint Terrorism Task Force are investigating, it was learned."

RE: Pipe bomb at NYC subway stop.

Other news reoprts claim that the bag contained fireworks. BS if you ask me. This was not a practice run, because the bomb was real. It was not AQ because AQ would not have wasted time on a crude pipe bomb. Could have been Hammas (or a Hammas wannabe) given the recent pronouncement that it intended to beome proactive in the USA. It could have been one of the leftist anarchists starting trouble in advance of the GOP convention. Or it could have been one of the thousands of wackos that live in NYC, who has an off-the-wall agenda like saving the mold or protecting the sewer rat.

But da judge says we can't inspect bags...

Last night right after it happened, the reports were saying it was a bag of common "firecrackers" that exploded. Now we learn better, I see.
